6 of the best shots from my walk around the airfield this morning. Quite a moody / misty morning, so I've tried to reflect that in the processing of the shots. The other thing of note was a little "mini-rainbow" that just hung there for the whole time (at least an hour and a half) ... never seen anything like it in my life!
Hope you enjoy
PS: All shot with EF 70-200 F2.8L IS USM II + 2x TC @ 1/2000th @ F5.6

Ouch!
A nerdy friend of mine, appeared for an exam and go his results yesterday. He couldn't make it by .25 marks. He scored 59.75.
AND he didn't have a book to study for it
He had gone absolutely unprepared for it

If he had not forgotten his book at the workplace.
Studious, people scare me

Really nice set, especially 'Ready to Serve' which brings back memories of when I was thirteen and three quarters on my first camp at RAF Thorney Island being wowed by the sight of a line of tails of Hercules aircraft shimmering in the evening sun.

I don't think they allow camera's on military airfields Colin; I had a friend who had his camera stamped on by the military police called 'snowdrops' over here, at RAF Coningsby.
Apparently the aircraft that are photographed are always the same ones, don't know if it's true though.
